Quilting

Tips and Tricks

1.     I put a red tipped pin in my 1^st Quilt block. This way I can always tell which is the beginning.

2.     I put a small safety pin in the top block of the first row. This way there is no question to which is the top of my Quilt.

3.     Recycle a water bottle with a pull spout. Fill it with water and keep it next to your iron. I can usually fill my iron twice before I have to fill the bottle again. The larger the bottle the less trips to the tap.

4.     Save the large clear plastic zipper bags that things come in like sheets and comforters. They work great to store unfinished projects. You can see what it is through the bag.

5.  Get rubber doorstops that you slide under the door. Use these by sliding them under both sides of the back of your sewing machine. This puts the machine at an angle and helps to alleviate the pain in your wrist and back. The rubber helps keep the machine from moving.

My daughter has Cerebral Palsy. I do not say this for sympathy. I have created a site devoted to helping people with disabilities find resources they need to navigate DSHS, DDD, SSI and others including the school system. What I need from you is to let people with disabilities know of the site and get them to send me information of their local and State agencies that fulfill the needs of the disabled. I want to make this information available to all for free on my site. I just need the help of either a person with a child having cerebral palsy or any disability or a concerned person who can donate their time to help seek out this information of advocacy groups for the disabled.

 I am spending what time and resources I have but I need help.

 Please check out the site and if you can contribute with any information please do so. Check out the site I made for families with children who have CP Click  http://www.cpfsn.org 

 Through having to take our daughter to therapy and doctors appointments we have come to know many parent's of children with Cerebral Palsy. In the course of our attempts to advocate for our daughter and upon hearing of the same troubles others have had doing the same we decided to use some web space and try to do something about it. We want very much to be able to provide relevant information for every locality across the country so that people seeking information do not have to spend days in search of the information they need. We would welcome any help you could give us. Any links you can supply for either .gov's or private agencies that provide for or advocate for the Disabled would be appreciated. We would like to break them down by Federal, State, County, City and Schools. Please visit  www.cpfsn.org and see if there is anything you can contribute to grow the site into a useful and relevant site for people with disabilities specially those with Children who have Cerebral Palsy.
